To celebrate Spring and the Easter Bank Holiday I'm offering 20% off everything in my Etsy shop until 12pm (GMT) on Monday 6th of April. Just use the coupon code "Rabbit" when you get to the checkout.

There are also lots more Spring and Easter sales around this weekend so I thought I'd share a few with you here.

I came across 'Thrashion' on Instagram a few weeks ago and they are having an amazing 50% off sale of most of their designs- all of which are made using broken skateboard decks! (which are otherwise thrown away!).

I have purchased a bracelet and hair clips such as these below and I can't wait to try them on:

The talented Dani of 'Lioness Arts' is having a spring knitting pattern sale over on Ravelry, 50% off using the coupon code 'SPRINGSALE50' her gorgeous designs have made me determined to take on an actual pattern in my knitting:

Lovely Kate of 'Oh Someday' is offering 20% off everything until the 5th of April in her Etsy shop which contains beautiful handmade jewellery made using a multitude of skillful techniques including metal work, macrame, wooden peices and more. Alot of Kates work is also possible to personalise, her cute macrame/metal bracelets are often emblazoned with clever and meaningful quotes:

I absolutely adore my Oh Someday walnut wooden necklace with silver inlay, it's my first call when I want to wear a chic and stylish piece:

That's it for now but there are plenty more small business's offering fabulous sales out there so keep your eyes open and please support your independents!

As far back as I can remember I've had this 'itchy fingers/ itchy mind' sort of a feeling that spurs me to make things. I'm taking it seriously this time and trying to build a business around around it. I'll use this blog to capture my journey, share inspiration, introduce makers, create tutorials and generally bang on about all things makey.

In February 2016 I suffered from Postpartum Psychosis when having my daughter, I have since become someone who wants to share my story hoping that it will help others, so this blog will be both crafty and mental health based.
